Range of the work

The lowercase runs from Markazi Text, the shortest at 364 units per 1,000 em, to Tiro Telugu at 477. In width, Markazi Text is the narrowest (383) and Tiro Telugu the widest (512). Beyond Latin, the families cover eight subsets: Arabic, Bengali, Devanagari, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Vietnamese. Measured against the medians of their own classes, none of the ten families with ascenders have a taller x-height, none of all ten set a wider lowercase and ten a darker one.
